My check engine light is on and when i had it checked it was for "insufficient flow" through the EGR valve. I had it cleaned but the light came on. I took it back the my mechanic and they said that they think there is a carbon build up somewhere past the EGR valve and don't know how to clean it. Any suggestions on how this build up would be found/cleaned?
Also, there has recently been a high pitched almost grinding sound coming from the front of the car when i hit the breaks. I had my breaks checked but they seem to be find. Is this somehow related to the carbon build up?
thanks

Did they clean the egr passage in the intake manifold and replace the egr valve?
